    Good for speeds that are currently available. It does the job without emptying your wallet. It was easy to setup. Would have been nice had more wired connections. No Wifi

    spent about an hour on the phone with optimum and turns out the modem is not compatible with their service. Went with the NETGEAR Modem and it works great.

    Not sure but I feel like my old Motorola worked better with my Asus router. For some reason the 5ghz wireless Chanel has issues with lag. Knocking off two stars for this.

    Terrible experience. I scheduled to pick up in person at Galleria, and I was told the product would be prepared within 1 hour. After I got there 2 hours later, I was told that no product was available and I had to drive to another location. But why not notify me in advance???????

    Speeds are ok if you are on low tier, not the best for 300+ mbps, would recommend the next model up for higher speeds.

    This small router packs a big punch. Its small size is way easier to conceal than the bigger car companies box

    I still get periods of "the circle of death" when watching a movie etc with fire stick. I was told by your company that I would have good reception without any interuptions this system and the eero items. So when the system works it is ok but with interuptions it is not I could not recommend the system to anyone at this time.

    Apparently this isn’t completely compatible with Xfinity. Although it states a 1Gbps throughput, it has a max capacity of 700 Mbps when it comes to Xfinity.
